ALL LIVING THINGS Respond to their environment A signal to which an organism responds = ___________________ STIMULUS Image from:

ALL LIVING THINGS Respond to their environment A stimulus can be _________________ Ex: When there is enough water and ground is warm enough, seed germinates. Roots respond to gravity & grow downward. Leaves respond to sunlight & grow up. EXTERNAL Image from:

ALL LIVING THINGS Respond to their environment A stimulus can be ____________ Ex: When the glucose level in your bloodstream becomes low, your body responds by making you feel hungry. INTERNAL

HOMEOSTASIS involves internal __________ mechanisms If body temp drops too low, shivering produces heat to warm you up. If temp is too hot, sweating cools you down. FEEDBACK

HOMEOSTASIS Drinking a BIG GULP increases the amount of water in your body Your next stop gets rid of the excess water. (OSMOREGULATION)

Core High School Life Science Performance Descriptors High school students performing at the ADVANCED level: predict how homeostasis is maintained within living systems; predict the function of a given structure; High school students performing at the PROFICIENT level: describe the relationship between structure and function ; predict how life systems respond to changes in the environment; High school students performing at the BASIC level recognize that different structures perform different functions; identify DNA as the structure that carries the genetic code; define homeostasis;

Core High School Life Science Performance Descriptors High school students performing at the ADVANCED level: given a scientific discovery, evaluate how different societal, cultural, and personal beliefs influenced the investigation and its interpretation; High school students performing at the PROFICIENT level: given a scientific discovery narrative, determine and describe how societal, cultural, and personal beliefs influenced the investigation and its interpretation; High school students performing at the BASIC level given a scientific discovery narrative, identify the cultural and personal beliefs that influenced the investigation.
